Illustrated by
Kristin Sorra.
Through diary entries, e-mail, and notes (and her occasional line drawings), Venola Cutright narrates her seventh-grade crush on Nathan and her feelings--as the youngest of six children--about her parents' decision to have another baby. Her unremitting self-centeredness, though tiresome, is authentic, and by the end of the mild story, Venola becomes more realistic about crushes.
